The Institute of Brunei Technical Education (Malay : Institut Pendidikan Teknikal Brunei; abbreviation: IBTE) is a post-secondary institution providing technical and vocational education in Brunei. IBTE was created on May 27, 2014 [3] from the merger of the Department of Technical Education and seven technical and vocational schools nationwide. [4]
Since 2016, the seven schools under IBTE have been restructured into two cluster of schools, namely IBTE Central and IBTE Satellite. [5] The schools have also been renamed so as to reflect better their merger under one umbrella institution, taking up the terms 'IBTE' and 'Campus' as part of the new names. [6]
